"Most photographers don’t often consider the legal implications of their shoots because, as is human nature, we tend to make assumptions
based on the actions of our peers. We see people doing it all the
time; we figure we can do the same thing. Add to that, being a
foreigner like Antoine, because he is not used to U.S. law at all. Pile
on the fact that most laws on the subject are different in every state to some degree and there is often no clear bright line
to follow. We hear stories constantly in the photography world about
people being arrested for taking pictures in public spaces like
subways. (in general, it is OK, despite what police may say)."
